Mike Leach on how accuracy is most-critical QB trait & biggest mistake HS through NFL coaches always make is pretending they can fix it. "You can go get the shortstop & teach him to play QB easier than you can make someone accurate."

Accuracy is certainly high up on the list. I’d throw in the ability to read defenses as maybe 1b.The argument would be that you can teach how to read a defense, but some guys are better at picking that up than others. I’d say Brady is better at reading a defense than he is at accuracy (not that he is inaccurate).

The Patriots will watch all the game film on a team and climb into their heads. This is why they tend to lose early on in a season, because there is limited or no game film of what that team is doing that year. You want to beat the Patriots when you play them? Change up everything. Because if you don't, they will know your plan before you do.
